Domestic and family violence experienced by LGBTIQA+ persons

Domestic and family violence (DFV) is a significant issue affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, inter-sex, queer, asexual and other gender and/or sexuality diverse (LGBTIQA+) persons, and its occurrence and impacts have largely been invisibilised in mainstream DFV discourses. 

This research brief considers the nature and prevalence of DFV in LGBTIQA+ relationships, key theoretical explanations for LGBTIQA+ DFV, barriers to reporting for LGBTIQA+ victim-survivors, and system responses to LGBTIQA+ DFV.

家庭暴力（Domestic and Family Violence，以下简称DFV）是影响女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、间性人、酷儿、无性恋及其他性别与性取向多元（Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer, Asexual，以下简称LGBTIQA+）群体的重大社会问题，但其发生与影响在主流DFV话语体系中长期被遮蔽，未得到应有的关注。
本研究概要探讨了LGBTIQA+亲密关系中DFV的性质与流行程度、针对LGBTIQA+群体DFV的核心理论解释、LGBTIQA+受害幸存者的报案阻碍，以及针对该群体DFV的系统应对机制。
